Teddy Atlas explains what advantage Terence Crawford holds over Canelo Alvarez

Teddy Atlas, a longtime trainer and boxing analyst, talked with Ring Magainze about his feelings on the fight between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez this fall and why he seems to be leaning toward Crawford to defeat the inherently larger Canelo. "Who wins between the real good big man and the real good little man has always been one of the biggest questions in the history of the sport." "Atlas said." "That has been a question throughout the sport's history, and we have another opportunity to address it. "You can present both sides of an argument." Canelo, however, is too large. He stepped up with Madrimov and struggled a little bit, but he's too big and as good as Crawford. It was more competitive than we anticipated, but he prevailed. However, we underestimated Madrimov because he had 300 amateur battles but only 10 professional fights, so we were unaware of his true skill. He was an excellent, strong fighter. Because our expectations were so high—which is incorrect—we began to undermine Crawford somewhat. That is incorrect; he altered tactics, understood the level of the opponent, and took the necessary action to win.
